On the one topic: Junior baseball stuff limits the pitch types allowed and the innings/throws allowed per player over the game counts to limit injuries.
On another topic.....I've been following the Novo guys and noticed now in two tours in a row they appear to be going after the IM sprint points. They got it in the first race. Not sure it will work this time. It tells me they don't have a credible leadout train or sprinter to challenge a stage win or overall in these flat races.
Same thing pretty much going on 10x in a row now, send Planet into the break to try for IM sprint points then have the break get caught and have someone finish around 15th each time.
It'll interesting to see what they try at Milan-San Remo.
